So, if you ask me: Sonja definitely wins the Queen of Recycling competition.

Didn't queen Sonja have a salmon-coloured version of this type of dress as well which she also used a lot? There was a lot of comments about the 'salmon dress' at the glittering board at one point. Well, if she likes them - and she certainly saves a lot on her and Harald's budget....

Haha, yeah. The famous salmon dress is another of the "recycled-to-dead" dresses ... She didn't wear t for a longer while now (which somehow scares me ).

THanks for the pictures Her Majesty - I remember that blue dress as well.
But I think the salmon dress I was thinking of was a bit different - the same 'plissee' like fabric as the yellow one - but with huge wing-like sleeves. I have tried to google it but have not come up with any pics.

Anyway, even if queen Sonja does recycle a lot she looks nice - and appropriate But she could certainly give princess Anne a run for her money in the recycling department

I think the difference between Sonja and Letizia is the way they recycle.
Letizia recycles her outfits in a very short period of time. You see the outfit and directly recognize it, because she wore it just a few days earlier.
E.g. the silver galadress. She wore it about 3 or 4 times in a single month.

Sonja on the other hand leaves bigger gaps between her recyclings.
Last year she recycled a dark blue dress which she first wore 15 years ago (and in the meantime she wore it about 3 times or something). The only dress she repeats way too often is the yellow one.
You don't see her outfits and first think: "not again..."
I definitely prefer this way of recycling.

Mary has a similar way of recycling. As well as Mette-Marit. They use to alter their outfits when they recycle them.
Something Letizia doesn't do.

After reading all the posts, my vote goes to Queen Sonja and CPss Letizia....I hope Letizia pairs her pants/top with another piece so it wouldn't look boring because we have seen all her outfits more than 2x a month. I just hope she recycles her 2004-2005 outfits. They were marvelous.

The same goes for Queen margrethe. She also recyles alot of her dresses but it can be that she suddenly wears a gown she used 10 years ago.
